Oxlade-Chamberlain targeting early return

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is aiming to make his return from injury before the end of Liverpool's campaign.

England international Oxlade-Chamberlain enjoyed a promising start to his Liverpool career last season, having ended a six-year stay at Arsenal to move to Anfield in a £35million deal.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's season was cut short in April, when he sustained a knee injury in the Reds' Champions League semi-final tie against Roma.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed in the close-season that the midfielder could miss the entirety of 2018-19, but, speaking in BetVictor's 'This is Melwood' series, Oxlade-Chamberlain revealed that he is targeting an earlier comeback, adding that the Liverpool manager's support has played a crucial role in his recovery.

"I'd love to be able to make an appearance at least before the end of the season," Oxlade-Chamberlain said.

"Jurgen's been massive for me. Whenever I see him, he's got a smile on his face. He's really positive and keeps me in his thoughts.
